Great Work Done by Men Oyer 20.

A good deal of the worlds work is
being done by men over the age of TO-
Conspicuous examples like the Emperor
of Germany, who is 90; Won Motke,
who is SO; NJ. Grevy. who is 76; Mr..
Gladstone, who is II, and Prince Bis

mind first; but were careful investi-
cation to be made OF the conduct Of

where youth comes early to the front,
the number of men born before 1916
who are occupying positions of con-
spicuous influence would be found to be
surprisingly large. Connecticut possesses

has passed his 9th birthday, what we
take to be the oldest specimen of an

The Fate Of Old Saws

A cart, heavily laden with q peculiar
and apparently miscellaneous assortment
Of rubbish, was making the way labo-
rously through a west side street the
other day when it attracted the atten-
ton Of an inquisitive passer-by. A
closer investigation disclosed the fact
that the rubbish consisted OF broken,
distorted and worn-out saws OF every
description from the cumbersome cross
cut saw of the lumberman to the finest
and most fragile of the cabinet makers
instruments.
"What do you do with this stuff"
was asked of the good-natured driver
who sat on his lofty perch IN imminent
danger Of being bisected by the teeth
OF villainous looking "cross-cut"
behind him.
"Come along, and I'll show YOU" he
replied.
The stranger mounted the wagon and
was driven short distance to large
mandatory not far distant, which be-
longs to well-known Fulton street firm.
The so-ealled rubbish was dumped into
the yard, and after being quickly as
sorted by workmen was carried into
the building.
The mystery of the proceedings was
then explained by the superinten dent as
follows:
''This apparently worthless collection
of refuse" said he, "has a value beyond
calculation. These old pieces of steel,
which have done years of duty in the
carpenter and butcher shops, will be
quickly transformed into the most deli
cate instruments of the surveyors art.
The material of which saws are formed
is of the finest and best-tempered steel
and is just suited for our purposes. If
you will step this way l will show you
The result"
The superintendent then led the way
to room in which stood q case inclos-
ing collection of sextants, compasses,
graduated rules, ETC., all highly pol
ished AMI of exquisite workmanship.
This" said the speaker, sis what
becomes of old saws. New York

Ryan and said: "Now, Archbishop,
these are gentlemen whose acquaintance
it would be well for you to cultivate If
you once get on the right side of them

added: "Of course, they will expect in

Spontaneous Combustion.

Some observations made in France by
M. Cosson may throw light upon many
mysterious fires. In one instance spon-
taneous firing arose from an air current
heated to seventy-seven degrees only.
The wood slowly carbonized at that
temperature, and being thus rendered
extremely porous, rapid absorption of
oxygen resulted, and sufficient heat was
then produced to infame the dry
material. In another case the warmth
from the air-hole of a stove-door was
sufficient to set fire to woodwork.

A FATAL ACCIDENT
A Young Man is Horribly MutIIated
by a Sorghum Press.

A terrible accident occurred in Man.
kato township about three miles south
east of the city Tuesday morning, which
resulted in the death of young man
named Lewis Haslip. Haslip, who was
nineteen years of age, was working
about steam sorghum press owned by
Mr.. David Haggard. The machinery
became clogged in some manner and he
reached under the press to right it. In
doing so his arm was caught and he was
dragged against the machine. His face
was brought in contact with the press
and the lower jaw and neck were caught
and crushed in a shocking manner.
Haslip jerked himself loose, but his jaw,
tongue and part of the flesh of his neck
remained in the press, being torn and
wrenched off. Several men came to his
assistance and as the unfortunate young
man was loosened from the press he
sank into the arms of one of the men.
He died In about one hour from the ac-
cident. There were several others
working about the press at the time and
as soon as possible the engine was
stopped but the terrible work had been
done.
A messenger came to the city and Sc
cured medical assistance. The deputy
coroner, Mr.. James Shoemaker, left for
the scene of the accident, but has since
returned to the city finding an inquest
unnecessary.
Mr.. Haggard, his wife and another
person tainted away on the sight of
the mutilated remains of the man. The
former is an old gentleman and the
shock was so severe that he has not
yet recovered consciousness. He lies in
a critical condition. The victim was a
son of John Haslip, a respected lesident
of Mankato township, and has many
friends to mourn his untimely end.

Last evening as some gentlemen, who
were returning home from business
were passing house In the Second
ward, they were startled by loud ex-
plosion. A moment later lady came
rushing down the steps. followed close
ly by man and two boys. AS soon as
the gentlemen could quiet the excited
family, they entered the house TO learn
the extent of the damage. There was
nothing to be seen unusual until the
kitchen was reached, when terrible
sight was met. Every window was
blown our, the floor torn up, and the
hired girl literally pinned TO the wall.
As soon as they could do SO, the girl
was released from her perilous position,
and placed on bed. She was able to
give full particulars of the accident later
in the evening. 1t seems from her
story that Mrs. s. was in the kitchen
doing some work, when her husband
entered and asked for some hot water
to shave with. She at once started to-
ward the gasoline stove which stood in
the corner, at the same time remarking,
Mr.. 5. can you spare me little money
tomorrow" "What for?" he asked.
TO go to Knapp's Famous Bazaar to
buy some willow ware. The stock is
complete and their prices are, o, SO
cheap" she replied. When Mr.. s. who
is very profane man, heard the famll-
lar old chestnut, money to go to
Knapp's Famous Bazaar with" he liter
ally exploded. The gasoline stove is in
the corner still, and the hired girl will
go to Knapp's Famous Bazaar with Mrs.
s to select the desired articles in the
morning. Mr.. s. has quit swearing and
will hereafter patronize barber shop.

This is far from the fact. Since the fire
